Riu Palace Mexico Or Riu Palace Riviera Maya?


Recommended Posts

Hi there.

I will be getting married next year in Playa at a chapel and then having my reception at a beach club.  I am looking at hotels for our us and our guests to stay.  I think I'd like to stay at one of the Rius.  I'm just not sure which one.  I know they recently renovated the RPM.  Has anyone been there recently and had a chance to see both?  Are they both right on the ocean?  I'm not sure if the RPM will be my style. I'd like something with a little Mexican flare.  I want to feel like I'm in Mexico and not New York City.  I also noticed the bathrooms are a little open and not all guests will be couples.  Not sure if they want to shower in front of their friends.  :)    Our travel agent did say that the renovations were great and she liked that one. 

 

I'd like to stay at whichever is in the best shape and has better pool/hotel facilities.  I'd appreciate any advice. 

 

Thanks!

@@Sarahop81 We visited Riu Palace Riviera Maya in February and it was very, very run down. It looked great in pictures and I was so disappointed when we saw it in person. It is right on the beach and you can see the island of Cozumel from the beach. We didn't visit Riu Palace Mexico because the renovations have all the rooms bright purple and I agree with you, the hotel had to have a Mexican flare and RPM didn't seem worth the visit. Hope I don't offend anyone who had their weddings here, just my opinion!

Before I got engaged we already had a trip planned to stay at the Riu Yucatan. We were going to take a day to look at other resorts so I can report back in July! I know so far away, sorry!
